An Appalling Accident.

The siul intelligence WAS received at
Acconac &. H., early Tuesday morning
that the mangled body of Il allita man
was found on the railroad track nea'
Taslcy station and an investigation IT.
suited in the Identification Of Mr.. Geo.
w. Z. Human, of Rloxpm station as
the victim. He had attended court OF
Monday and at night sought to return
home ly rail, but was refused ticket
by the agent because of IL want of enough
money to pay for it. After the north
bound train left he was seen sitting on
the track and it is supposed that over
come by sleep and inloXicants in which
he had INDUCED during the
day lie met The sad fate Which overlook
him. Two freight trains bound south
passed over him, severing his heal from
his body and crushing it to jelly, cutting
off both his legs ANA sirewing his entraiis
along the track for fifty yards or more.
A more terrible spectacle cannot be i'm
agined Jllan his remains presented. a
coroner's inquest WAS held and the jury
IN their verdict excllW,teti the railroad
authorities, unwisely perhaps. The en-
gineer of the irstlrain knew that he had
passed over tile body Of a man but gave
no warning 50 far as we know to prevent
his body from being further mutilated
blythe train which followed after it. In
that respect they failed to do their duty
cvenlf they were not at fault in other re-
spects. The remains Of the unfortunate
man were gathered in a box and sent to
his home where they were inferred on
Wednesday, in the presence of 4 large
crowd of friends. The deceased was
about IS years old and well thought Of
by every one who knew him. He leaves
a wife and three children.

Strawberry Exhibition.

The strawberry exhibition held at
Onancuck, on last Saturday, by the
Truckers and Fruit Growers Assooia-
Jioli, proved adecIded success as to the
display Of fine berries which were adj
mired and praised by all present, but it
is tn lie regretted that the attendance
was not sufficient to render the exhibit
ton success pecuniarily. This was
largely due to the fact, that it was held
ut short notice and at a very busy sea
son. The exhibit Of berries proved a
credit to our county, and we have no
doubt but that exhibitions of this kind
will give I'LL impetus to the berry grow
ing interests Of this section. The ex-

Body Found.

The body of the little son Of John
Gray,of Chincoteague,w who was drowned
last week in Gargathy bay was found on
Saturday by some parties, who buried
him in the mud, but afterwards he was
taken up by MesSrS. Jas. E. Parks and
VIM, Il. Gibbons and given decent
burial in the graveyard OF Mr.. Gibbons.
The little fellow. ifreports be true, had
a hard life and even after his death WAS
far from being kindly cared for until he
fell into the hands of the gentlemen who
buried him. The father. it is said, not
only cruelty treated him by inflcting
blows on all occasions on him willie lie
was living, but refused also to look af-
ter him when he was dead. Suspicious
OF foul play are even entertained. Mr..
